Yin Zhen Yunnan Silver Needle (\u96f2\u5357\u9280\u91dd) white tea is a light and delicate white tea grown in Yangta Village located in Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County in Pu\u2019er, Yunnan Province. Made from Camellia taliensis<\/em>, it is a little more unusual when compared to classic Silver Needle white teas from Fujian Province. Grown at a plantation of 40-60 year old trees at an altitude of around 1,700m, it was harvested in March 2021.<\/p>\n

This Yin Zhen Yunnan Silver Needle is made from fine young buds of Camellia taliensis<\/a><\/em>. The taliensis<\/em> species is a wild relative of Camellia sinensis<\/em> and is closer related to Camellia sinensis var. assamica<\/em> than to Camellia sinensis var. sinensis<\/em>. Given the closer relation to assamica<\/em>, it is perhaps not surprising that it is mostly found in the wild in Yunnan Province and surrounding areas in Thailand and Burma. In Yunnan Province taliensis<\/em> is used to make white, black and pu-erh teas. We currently stock a black version of this tea, Dian Hong Da Li Cha<\/a> in our shop.<\/p>\n

The tender leaves of this Yin Zhen Yunnan Silver Needle have been carefully hand processed to create neat silver needles. There are plenty of white \u2018hairs\u2019 on the leaves, indicating a very high quality of both the leaf and processing. The pale liquor is very clear and bright, lightly darkening as the tea cools. It has a slight vegetal and woody aroma. The clean taste has a herbaceous profile with vegetal and sweet notes of spinach, salad leaves and cucumber. The aftertaste is crisp, with lightly sweet, fruity and woody notes. This tea is extremely easy-going with a fresh, cleansing taste.<\/p>\n

This tea is best brewed at 90\u00b0C for 3-4 minutes according to your taste, brewing multiple times. Like with all white teas, you can experiment with lower temperature and longer steeping time as an alternative way of brewing.<\/p>\n
